We Didn't Know How to Make It…Yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We had 206 panic buttons, a Velcro problem, some very determined adhesive…and absolutely no desire to relearn CAD. What started as a pretty mundane problem at our school district turned into a perfect example of why we created Beyond Yet. We needed a permanent holder for a panic button. We couldn't find one to buy. We knew a 3D printer could probably make one. We just didn't know how to design it. So Jim asked a question: What if AI could do the part we didn't know how to do? It could. In this e
AI Isn't The Point! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After four years of talking about artificial intelligence, we're changing the conversation. Beyond Yet isn't about AI news, prompt lists, or another collection of how-to tutorials. It's about what happens when something you've always wanted to learn, build, try, or create suddenly isn't as far out of reach as you thought. Maurie and Jim introduce Beyond Yet, explain why they're making the change, get distracted by a moth, argue about pre-boiled eggs, and ask the question that may define the whol
Your Town Has Leverage - Negotiate Before Building (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Artificial intelligence needs data centers, but what happens when one wants to build in your community? In this final episode of our three-part series, Maurie and Jim Beasley shift the conversation from fear to preparation.

They discuss: • Why your town has more leverage than you think • Protecting water before constru
The Data Center Fight Most Communities Can't Win...Until You Know the Rules (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part two of our three-part AI data center series explores the legal realities behind these massive projects. From zoning laws and environmental regulations to power grids, water usage, developer lawsuits, and state authority, we explain why many communities struggle to stop projects once they begin—and what local leaders should understand before it's too late.
Before the Data Center Comes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI doesn't live in the cloud. It lives in physical buildings that require enormous amounts of electricity, cooling, land, and infrastructure. In Part 1 of this three-part series, Jim and Maurie Beasley explain what AI data centers are, why they're expanding so rapidly, who builds them, and why communities across America are beginning to face difficult decisions about bringing them into their neighborhoods. If you've heard about billion-dollar AI projects but aren't sure what they actually mean,
